There are annuals and perennials in the genus Coreopsis. Usually daisy-like, the often double or semi-double flowers are usually yellow or golden-yellow. Some pink varieties are also available.

Coreopsis make good cut flowers and they are also useful for the wildlife garden because they attract bees. The flowers of Coreopsis are produced over a long period during the summer. Regular dead-heading extends the flowering period still further.
